New York, the Delaware River Basin Commission and Arkansas have imposed a moratorium on fracking because of safety concerns. Pennsylvania needs to do the same.

After receiving more than $1 million in campaign contributions from drillers, Gov. Tom Corbett has embraced fracking. Poisoned water, fouled air and scarred landscapes are the result.

The governor said he wants Pennsylvania to become the Texas of natural gas. I have seen the oil fields of Texas, and they are ugly. Wishing that on Pennsylvania may be grounds for impeachment.

Anyone who hunts, fishes, hikes, bikes or camps in Pennsylvania should be outraged at the damage being done to Penn's Woods. Anyone who values clean water should be alarmed by the dangers of fracking and the dangerous chemicals being injected into the ground as well as the methane being found in drinking water.
